Ghost of Clough

With 9 days since the last game and 6 days until the following game, we'll play a very strong side for this one. 
I want us to win as many games as possible in the FA Cup. I don't care which day we play Port Vale. Midweek would probably be more enjoyable anyway.

Wouldn’t it just be easier and nicer to say hang on there’s some stuff I think you need to check out regards the current state of Rwanda 

Lest we forget - this is the same man who claimed to be able to tell someone was Polish just by looking at them, but claims that he didn't know that Joe Lycett was gay. ?

Us RamsTV loyalists have the wonderful @Owen87ITK and Shaun ?

Gamed the system and hardly ever beat a top side. Snatched a 1-0 win at home to Uraguay in September. The previous result against a 'top' side was a 1-1 draw woth Korea in 2021 and then again in 2019.
Tbf, at the last World Cup in 2018, they drew 1-1 woth Portugal and narrowly lost to Spain 1-0 (and beat Morocco 1-0)

Cheered on by 5,500 noisy Derby fans. We weren't embarrassed. You have to do what you can to try and win a game of football.
Don't you, Saudi Arabia?

Isn't encroachment onto the pitch a lifetime ban offence? Isn't assaulting a player a lifetime ban?
Personally, a lifetime ban for me would be the minimum he should receive.

I can’t remember when, think it was away during Covid, but he gave our left hand side a torrid time. Looked more than tidy. 

Davies - missed 5 in a row
Chester - only 1 app
Smith - returning from injury and still missed 5 games
McGoldrick - missed the first 3 games and was buikding up his fitness
Osula and Dobbin - weren't with us at the start of the season
 
Oh, you meant Warne?

Tbf, we're no longer playing the slowest back 3 in the league.

I think when I posted that he had only started 3 games all season. It's possible he had an injury early in the season and took a while to get back up to speed.

So is your eyesight, that's clearly on the ceiling 

Hard to tell who we are after, but these are a few of the players I would be looking at in our position.
 
CB - Edmonds-Green. Started the season well at Huddersfield then went to Wigan on loan but hasn't played. Ties in with Warne's comments about a player getting a long term injury at his current club (Nakayama)
CB - Matty Pearson, also at Huddersfield, is one I'd look at. Reliably fit (up until this season). Good defender, right side of 30, and a goal threat. 
RB - Rankin-Costello (Blackburn), a pacey wing back who is a good crosser and isn't afraid to shoot. 
Winger - no idea
CF - Idah has been linked, but not someone i would go for. Bonne has hardly played for QPR and Cornick isn't getting as much action as he'd like (also an option on the wing). Both fit the age profile we're looking at, and there's a chance we could get them on frees like we did with Collins.

Compared with the rest of the team, he did a lot of good stuff, and very little bad stuff.
 
Pass success rate higher than Dobbin,  Wildsmith, Stearman, Rooney and Collins.
1 key pass, bettered by only Hourihane, Bird and Cashin.
1 of only 2 players to have a shot on target 
1 successful dribbles, bettered by only Tommo and McGoldrick 
Dispossessed only once (Smith 3)
3 unsafe touches (Tommo also 3)
Most tackles out of the Derby team
5th most clearances
Only 1 foul. Hourihane (2), Smith (2), Collins (3)

I once saw a dwarf climbing down a prison wall. Newbies like you probably have no idea what I am on about, but the brighter posters on here will know that it is a little con descending.

Did his UEFA A Badge when at Huddersfield. One of the draws for him originally joining us was the possibility to assist with the coaching.
With Cashin, Forsyth, Davies, Chester, Roberts and Rooney as CB options, he appears to have already dropped down to 7th choice CB.

U21s drew 1-1 with Brighton. Kelly with an injury time equaliser.
Solomon lasted the full 90. Wheeldon got 60 minutes (first ever start for the U21s)

I recall Rush saying sacking Clough was a mistake and something he regrets like, due to not fully appreciate what a good job Clough had actually done at the time.
